digitalnirvana 646 Report post Posted October 1, 2012 1) Should i change my operator to Reliance / TATA / MTS <RCDMA I would recommend. Not TATA. MTS depends on their connectivity in your area but most imported sets are for RCDMA.> 2) I am a SMSholic and average Data user ..what are perfect plans for me ..( EVDO needed) <For prepaid get the Rs 94 recharge (Enjoy FREE 200 Local + STD SMS/day and 1 GB high speed 3G like data, FREE/month.). After using for few days if you feel SMS is less, you can always opt for SMS addon packs.> 3) Should i really change to CDMA? <Consider how is RCDMA's network connectivity in Ahmedabad. If good, go for it.> 4) Would it be hassle free when changing handsets.. <Yes, provided you know what you are doing and doing through right people> Bhai as I advised you earlier, pick up the phone and call up reputed sellers like Parin or Hetal ji and take the plunge. CDMA voice clarity + low cost imported handsets + great EVDO plans on prepaid = win win situation. And send me the 9650 as a thank you gift lol joking. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dual signal 1x and EvDo from Vapi to Nakhatrana, himmatnagar, okha, Dahod. 3. Call and voice quality. 4. Range of handsets (ruim ones in open market and imported ones from RIMweb experts). 5. There is no reason to distinguish between GSM and CDMA anymore. Everything is absolutely transparent. CDMA service is fully end-user friendly.

mail_abhiks 0 Report post Posted October 2, 2012 1. Tata CDMA is fantastic. It offers 1.5 GB EVDO data for 21 days @Rs 48 and 4.5 GB EVDO data for Rs 95 for 30 days. No operator in India can match this! (In Reliance though you get 1GB/month @Rs 94 but if your usage is higher, then you have no option). 2. SMS pack of Tata for Gujarat-- Rs29-1500 SMS, Rs 39-3000 SMS, Rs 59- 6000 Local and National SMS for 30 days. 3. Yes you should. Connectivity, data speeds, Voice clarity is far better than GSM and so are call rates. 4. It is absolutely no problem while changing handsets. You can get unlocked CDMA handsets from sites like flipkart.com. Just pop any CDMA RUIM and enjoy! Else if you want more choices, you can go for imported ones via this website.

Sent from my Sensation XL using Tapatalk I agree with you sir, 1. Continuous connectivity with clarity of signal than GSM i belive, truly unmatched sound clarity 2. Signal wise ( Data wise) in Gujarat we have only 2G (not evdo i belive) for RCOM, so sometime data weakens and lost connectivity, thats what i experiencing in Rajkot City 3.

Karthik R 246 Report post Posted October 2, 2012 what is actually CDMA and why people prefer GSM over CDMA ? This thread might help - Basics about CDMA / EVDO I have a GSM card..and want to port out to CDMA..because of cheap EVDO and great speeds in EVDO .. EVDO works out to be cheaper than HSPA in some larger volume packs but in my experience I have found out that the speeds offered by GSM HSPA is much better. Also the coverage is ever expanding.

With recent data plans launched by reliance, CDMA has become highly desirable service. I have been with CDMA since DAPO days (2002) & believe me coverage wise it is far better than any other good service provider. I am from GJ & CDMA coverage is very good. Including data services. Plans like 94 recharge in prepaid & All share 499 in post paid, are good offers available recently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sgiitk 32 Report post Posted October 3, 2012 The problem with Tata is that they will not register a foreign MEID. Unfortunately, the best and latest handsets are only available outside of the telcos so getting MEID registration and EVDO activation is a must. In this regard you will find most sellers only offering Reliance and maybe MTS capably units. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
